Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey

Vegetables

  • 2 cups lettuce or mixed greens, washed and chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup pickles, sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, American, or Swiss recommended)

Condiments & Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Ketchup, to drizzle
  • Mustard, to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Cook the Protein: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef or turkey, season with salt, pepper, and any preferred spices. Cook thoroughly until browned and juicy.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the meat cooks, wash and chop the lettuce or mixed greens. Slice cherry tomatoes and red onions. Prepare pickles and avocado slices for easy assembly.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Layer the greens at the bottom of your bowl, then add the cooked meat on top. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot meat so it melts slightly, then top with tomatoes, onions, pickles, and avocado slices.
  4. Add Condiments: Drizzle ketchup and mustard or your favorite sauces over the bowl to finish, adjusting amounts based on taste.

Notes

  • Use warm meat to help the cheese melt perfectly.
  • Layer heavier ingredients like meat at the bottom to keep lettuce crisp.
  • Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra freshness.
  • Use condiments sparingly to maintain balanced flavors.
  • Chop veggies ahead of time to save assembly time.
